Skylight Blinds

If your skylights are in areas where you get a lot of sun—especially bedrooms or media rooms—you might want to consider skylight shades with a room-darkening or blackout fabric, so natural sunlight doesn’t interrupt your sleep or add glare to a TV screen. And if they’re in rooms like kitchens that don’t require complete darkness, choose a fabric that will bring in natural light while still blocking harsh rays. Remember, though, that skylights are often focal points of a room, so you’ll want a skylight window covering that complements your space’s overall style, rather than detracting from its décor.

Up to 30% of a home’s heating and cooling energy can be lost through its windows. That’s where cellular shades come in. The most energy-efficient window treatments available, their unique honeycomb design traps air in pockets, providing a layer of insulation at the window.

Duette® Honeycomb Shades, the original cellular shade, are available in an array of colors, textures and pleat sizes, and can accommodate the specialty shape of a skylight.

For even greater energy efficiency, look to Duette Architella® Honeycomb Shades, a honeycomb-within-a-honeycomb that features more layers of fabric and insulating air pockets. Considering how much sun might be coming through your skylights, Duette Architella shades can be a very worthwhile investment.
